There is one windows, only one now, for years.
It's been like this for what, 2 decades? Your PC need to be replaced for any reason, the new one will come with the latest windows.

It's simple, it's unavoidable. There are about 2 billions PCs in the world and if they don't last forever in a few years we will have almost 2 billion Windows 10 devices. What is the real alternative?

Most probably he has bigger problems than "his personal data" and all this crap. This is a way to help real users to see the map on a real place, not a "open source great ideia" that no one uses.
And in the off chance that his life, his family and his society is great, as "we" are used to have.... who would loan a camera?

Sure, google will be the winner. But OTOH they will have a map app to use, the same map app that most of the world uses and rely on. Thanks to this guy.

I had no ideia... is that normal, or a USA only thing?

You may get Plex on your Smart TV or other device. But the interface and the experience will be.. good luck. Great on some, terrible on other. Maybe with dolby digital sound, maybe with 4K support, maybe without any of those.
Unfortunately the last is the case on my 65" Panasonic TV. But it's a great set for 4K HDR on both Netflix and Amazon Prime.

So it's not on the planet Earth, just specifically in Latin America.
I live here, so it will be build right next door to me, or no more than 8.000 km anyway.

My grandma had it. My mother has it know, and it's getting worst.
While I do believe it's too late for her, and even if it's available I will never have anything near the amount of money this may require, there is hope for me and my 2 brothers in 20 years (statiscally, one of us should have it).

Games are indeed the problem. Every other country had to do the same in the past, and this is why right now on safer places - like Japan - we have finally ended all that video game nonsense.

Windows 7 was OK. 10 is supposed to be an upgrade to this OS, not only Windows 8. And in that regard yes, Windows 10 is crap. Dont get me wrong: i get the privacy issues but personally I could care less. And I like some features (the new CMD witch CC/CV and the Windows X shortcut are what make me use this as my main OS) but, interface wise, windows 7 was really well done. A great update from this mess.

One out of 3 or 4 "full repair" that I have to do on this software will end up with it be unsitanlled and thats it. Than I have to go back to the origina DVD (or 365 in case of signature - you cant use the same source for both, it would be too easy) and install again. The second problem is finding the install key, there is always a problem and someone misplaced it (on my company or on the small business in question). In the end Office is the only original software that I have to pirate. Its way faster for the user... in case MS ever knock on the dor they will give us days to find all the licenses.

THIS! Last time I felt like this I was a teenager, playing Super Mario 64.

You must show the OS that there is something wrong. Pull your power cord off during boot, before the OS freezes. This is the "Modern" way to F8. It may broke something on your hardware if you are really unlucky, but since you choose to use Windows 8 or 10, your fault I guess.

Indeed. From http://convergenciadigital.uol... "More than that, the judge considers that if it is not possible to break the encryption, the service itself must be prohibited, since it does not lend itself to the enforcement of judicial decisions."

Please can someone post a (no-malware) mirror installer?

Almost every bank in Brazil uses java plugin for security login. Every single .gov.br site that has any remote type of login uses it too. So in one hand, they will have to adapt. Most banks will. FINALLY. OTOH there is no way in hell that the [brazilian] government will adapt in less then.. 5 year I guess. So, from some point forward in the future, I will have to support clients using Internet Explorer.
